4. Which of the following circuit is used as "Memory Device" in Computers?

Answer: Option BExplanation:
Note: A flip-flop is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information. The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will have one or two outputs. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic. Flip- Flops and latches are a fundamental building block of digital electonics system used in computers, communications and many other types of systems.

5. Who developed the concept of E-Mail?

Answer: Option CExplanation:
Note: Ray Tomlinson is credited with developing the first viable e-mail program in 1971 for use on the ARPANET. Although text message were occasionally sent over the network, Tomilnson created the first program. It is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.Modern email operates across the internet or other computer networks. Some early email systems required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on store and forward model.

9. Processing of a data file to reduce its size for storage on disk is termed:

Answer: Option CExplanation:
Note: The process of reducing the size of a data file is popularly referred to as data compression, although its formal name is source coding. Compression is useful because it helps reduce resources usage, such as data storage space or transmission capacity. Because compressed data must be decompressed to use, this extra processing imposes computational or other costs through decompression.
